In a rare case, I decide to take a little look at some current semi-political news and share my two cents.
It’s About The Hypocrisy

Sorry PlayStation Fans, Twitter Likes Only Matter For, Well, Twitter
What a case of deja-vu: I feel like I wrote an article virtually identical to this one back in January. Oh, wait, that’s because I did. That’s right, the PlayStation fan base is already on the absurdity of somehow using social media reaction to judge something being better, or otherwise more liked on a whole […]
Hanging In There
It’s been damn near two weeks since my last update, and I just wanted to chime in and say I’m fine and things are okay on a whole, beyond the fact it’s nearly 100 degrees every damn day now (38 Celsius for those of you in the rest of the world) and that’s incredibly exhausting […]
“U.F.O” Does Not Mean “Aliens”
I can’t believe I’m having to write this one, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable ending this week without at least addressing this one. Earlier this week the Pentagon released footage of “UFO’s” they had procured over the past, oh, 20 years or so, from what I’ve seen online anyway, and naturally the internet was awash […]
Remember When YouTube Was, Well, Fun?
Moreover, remember when the motto of the site was “Broadcast Yourself?” I sure as hell do, and at this stage the platform is about as far away from what It was when it started as is possible — it went from being just a simple place to share videos, to a place to really be […]
What’s In A Name – The Origin Of “Kurisu Yamato”
Here’s a topic I’ve been long overdue on covering as I sometimes do get asked about it and some may find interesting; the origins my online alias “Kurisu Yamato.” At first glance most people just chalk it up as another weird Japanese styled name, probably from some “weeb” kid who’s really into some particular anime […]
What Xadara Is, And What It Isn’t
I was intending to write this article a month ago, around the 13th anniversary of this sites founding, but given how much chaos last month was it got delayed while I worked on some other more critical tasks. Today, to finish off this week I figured now would be as good a time as ever […]
I Miss Making Videos, But I Don’t Miss YouTube
From a period around 2013 until maybe 2017 or 2018 at the latest, I tried my damnedest to have fun with a YouTube channel which focused on my various projects, interests, and the like, much like any other even remotely “geeky” person tends to do. For a while it was fun, but soon, thanks to […]
No, Online Gaming Is Not “The Biggest Threat To Internet Bandwidth” In The Coming Weeks
The vilification of gaming in the media is never ending, and even now, during the Coronavirus Pandemic and the often mandatory quarantines being enacted around the world, news outlets out there are still trying to find ways to attack gamers and their hobby as the source of some kind of problem — in this case, […]
The Obligatory COVID-19 Post
I try very hard not to have to cover more serious subjects here. It can be, quite honestly, depressing, to cover much of what goes on in the world, and while I do share very strong opinions from time to time on my hobbies, I do fully acknowledge, regardless of how supportive or critical I […]
It Looks Like I Was Right About The PlayStation 5 Backward Compatibility Rumors
Yes, I’m going to take this opportunity to gloat. After months of people constantly throwing out a rumor that the PlayStation 5 would “play every PlayStation game ever” Sony announced today, among other things about the system, that it would not be backwards compatible with anything but, apparently, the “top 100 PlayStation 4 games” and […]
The Only Articles I Truly Regret Writing
If you’re any kind of creative individual you will likely relate to the fact that, inevitably, something you create will become something you wind up regretting. It’s extremely rare for anyone who makes anything to not have at least something they feel was a mistake, wasn’t good as it was released, or otherwise simply doesn’t […]
Why I Got Rid Of The Xadara Facebook Page
This isn’t exactly news that anyone is going to care about — it was something I’ve actually been wanting to do for a while, but simply hadn’t done due to the massive amount of procrastination I do on a daily basis — but I finally got rid of the Xadara Facebook page, to the dismay […]
